Surgical Oncology

Surgical Oncology at Manipal Hospital, Salt Lake

Surgical Oncology is a special branch of medicine that uses surgery to treat different types of cancer. It plays a key role in removing tumours and stopping the spread of cancer cells. At Manipal Hospital, Salt Lake, we believe in offering expert cancer care that is both effective and comforting. Our approach focuses on each patient, not just the disease. We use modern tools and proven techniques to plan surgeries that are safe, precise, and as minimally invasive as possible. Our experienced surgical oncologists work hand-in-hand with a skilled support team, including anaesthetists, nurses, and rehabilitation specialists. Together, they make sure every patient receives complete care before, during, and after surgery. We’re constantly updating our methods to match global standards. Our use of advanced technologies, like robotic-assisted surgery and enhanced recovery protocols, helps reduce surgical stress, shortens hospital stays, and speeds up recovery.

Treatment & Procedures

Breast Cancer Surgery and Treatments

Breast cancer surgery and treatments for breast diseases include various types of breast surgeries, depending on the need. We offer surgeries which include Breast-Conserving Surgery (Lumpectomy), Mastectomy, Reconstructive Surgery, and Sentinel Node Biopsy.

Our surgical Oncology department offers a wide range of treatments to cover different types of cancer. Every surgery is carefully planned to match the stage and type of cancer, along with the patient’s overall health and needs.

Lung cancer surgery

Lung surgery involves removing the tumour and sometimes a portion of the lung or lymph nodes to stop the disease from spreading. We offer both open and minimally invasive methods, depending on the case. Our surgeons focus on preserving as much healthy lung tissue as possible. This aims to allow the patients to breathe better and recover well.

Minimally invasive cancer surgery

These are surgeries done through small cuts instead of large openings. We use laparoscopic or robotic-assisted tools to access and remove tumours. These procedures result in less bleeding, smaller scars, and quicker recovery. Minimally invasive techniques are often used for cancers of the stomach, colon, uterus, and more.

HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy)

HIPEC is a special treatment used for cancers in the abdominal area, such as ovarian or colon cancer. After removing visible tumours through surgery, heated chemotherapy is delivered directly into the abdomen. This targets leftover cancer cells without affecting the rest of the body too much. It’s a highly specialised and effective treatment for advanced cases.

Surgical Oncology is more than just surgery. It’s about combining science, skill, and compassion to fight cancer with confidence. At Manipal Hospital, Salt Lake, we believe in treating every patient with dignity and personal care. Our approach is not just about removing the tumour but about helping people get back to life as quickly and smoothly as possible.

We also know that every cancer is different. That’s why we create personalised treatment plans that suit each individual. Whether it’s a small procedure or a complex surgery, we make sure every detail is carefully considered. We also support patients with pre-surgery counselling, nutritional advice, and emotional support to make their journey easier.
